Charlie King - LTA Level 3 Coach (Head Coach) (£25 per Hour)

About me

As a coach I love working with anyone from complete beginner all the way to a high standard player along with everything in between. I will help anyone improve and help push anyone to help them take their game to the next level! As well as working with juniors and club level players I have had the experience of working with some of the best juniors in the world at the Juan Carlos Ferrero academy whilst working alongside Juan and his former coach Samuel Lopez.

Lesson Testimonial

"I have known Charlie for 3 years and over that time i have attended a lot of his group coachng session as well as individual lessons. He is an excellent and patient coach who is very good at explaining different techniques and shots. My 12-year-old son has been having lessons twice a week and he has improved dramatically. Charlie is a very likeable person and has gently encouraged my son to push himself that little bit harder. This has resulted in him playingsome excellent tennis. A great all round coach who is brilliant with both adults and children. "
